Flooding in Indian River County has pushed wildlife into unusual places, including an alligator found in a residential driveway.
The Indian River County Sheriff's Office shared body-camera video showing two deputies wrangling the more-than-six-foot gator. The animal thrashed and hissed before the deputies secured it in a caged van.
The video then shows the alligator being released back into the wild.
Officials cautioned residents with flooded roads or neighborhoods to remain alert for alligators and other wildlife in floodwaters. Canals overflowed during sustained rains, creating conditions that can displace animals from their usual habitat.
